Melanie Brown Tapped to Host This Year Miss Universe Pageant

The Spice Girls singer has been tapped to host the 2008 Miss Universe pageant which will air live from Vietnam on July 13 from 9-11 P.M. EST on NBC.

It appears that Melanie Brown is hard at work for a comeback to the spotlight. With so many projects already in the pipeline, she keeps adding at least one more duty into her resume, the host of this year Miss Universe pageant.

The Spice Girls singer has been tapped to host the event alongside British-born American television personality Jerry Springer. And she admits to be feeling "thrilled to be a co-host of the Miss Universe pageant." She said, "I believe the diversity and dedication that the pageant brings inspires and empowers young women across the globe."

The 2008 Miss Universe pageant is scheduled to take place in Vietnam on July 13. The pageant will air live on NBC from 9 to 11 P.M.

Brown is currently working on a solo album that she plans to release later this year. Her TLC music game show "The Singing Office," which she co-hosts with Joey Fatone, debuts this week.
